No, I will not mentor you.

I often get asked...
"Will you mentor me?" => And the answer is: No !
However... the "why not" might surprise you.
It's not that I don't want to help... It's that when you ask this question, you're asking more effort from me than you're giving yourself.
When someone reaches out to me like this...
I always ask them the same four questions:
- What role are you targeting?
- Why do you think you specifically can get that role?
- What FIVE skills are you focussing on?
- What skills are you NOT focussing on?
Answer these four questions and you'll get immense clarity on your route into the cloud industry. No mentoring required.
I'm not "anti mentoring".
I'm just pro: self-sufficiency, empowering you with tools to unblock yourself—and radical and honest feedback and advice!
If you can find a mentor—amazing!
If not, you can follow my suggestions (for free).
I will link a YouTube video that walks you through these four questions below 👇 In the YouTube video there is also a multi-page PDF that walks you through these exact questions !
